the president never apologized # for the united states. "the washington post" debunked those claims last year. quote, in none of these cases does obama actually use a word at all similar to apologize. the post says, quote, note to gop speechwriters and campaign ad makers the apology tour never happened. mitt romney was never one to let good talking points get in the way but still he should offer an apology of his own. joining me now is crystal ball, co-host of "the cycle" here on msnbc and joe madison. thanks to both of you for being here tonight. >> thanks, reverend. >> so crystal, why is romney using these false apologizing attacks on the president? >> well, in the words of his pollster, they are not going to allow themselves to be dictated by fact checkers and clearly they have lived that mantra throughout the campaign. this is the same guy who has placed a lot of emphasis through ad dollars and in his speeches on a welfare attack on the president which is also wholly untrue and i also think, as you correctly pointed out, he's been push

take a listen. >> please welcome the next president of the united states, mitt romney! ♪ ah freak out so chic ♪ ♪ freak out ah freak out ♪ >> no, no, they weren't actually playing "freak out" but they might as well have because his party is in panic mode. rupert murdoch is back to giving advice on twitter, telling romney to stop fearing the far right which has nowhere else to go, otherwise no hope. that's mild compared to murdoch's paper. "the wall street journal" headline today, the gop candidate might try explaining his policies. just a thought. at this point conservative columnist byron york writes, republican nervousness threatens to turn into a stampede. even the far right blog newsmax seems to have thrown in the towel. the poll on their front page asks, can romney make a comeback? other than that, everything is great with the romney team. no, i'm kidding. just listen to the right wing talkers. sound like desperation. >> if obama wins, let me tell you what it's the end of, the republican party. >> if you can't beat barack obama with this record, then shut d

is because the only text you have when you're president of the united states is what do you do when you're faced with the unexpected? this is the expected, and he doesn't seem to be doing very well with it. >> when we look at the politics of this, a cnn/orc poll was released saying that 63% of all americans say, yes, when the question was asked whether he should release more tax returns. so i think, when you're dealing with tax rates, when you're dealing with fairness, especially when you're dealing in light of this 47% statement, that this is a sound political question since candidates in the past have had to do this. >> no question. and what mr. johnston said is particularly revealing. let's assume the romneys did pay 14% to 20% that the letter seems to imply, each and every year for the last 20. this year he paid about 14%. so if that were the case, then what's the reason for not releasing it? in many years, he paid more than he paid in 2011, if you believe what the accountant says. they paid up to 20%. so the damage is already done. people know, because of the way the tax code is skewe
